Your present and future depends on your health. The first thing always wished for everyone is health. As they say, the rest will follow!
Everyone knows that in unfavorable countries with low levels of social and economic development, lifespan is not big. At a time when the death rate exceeds the birth one, the nation is aging and dying slowly...
Such processes are taking place in Ukraine. Poor public funding has led many medical facilities in full decline. Year by year a number of closed hospitals grows, which means that citizens can not even get basic health care.
All this leads to the fact that nowadays an average lifespan in Ukraine is less than 70 years. It is clear that in such a situation, the question of nation's health becomes a condition for its survival.
At the same time an average lifespan in Israel is about 81.5 years. According to this index Israel occupies the 6th place in the world. Israel is a highly developed country with high living standards. The health care system of Israel is considered to be one of the best in the world. More than 3 thousand Israelis turned their hundred.
The main factors that affect the life expectancy of the Israelis are the development of medical care system, proper balanced nutrition and healthy lifestyle. Israelis drink little alcohol, eat a lot of vegetables, fruits and seafood. That is why according to the UN and the WHO data Israel occupies the 6th place among the healthiest countries in the world.
This April the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said that the reform of the health care system is one of the main priorities for the development of the country. An increase of average life expectancy of Ukrainians has to become a result of the reform. All this seems to be correct. But at the same time our politicians are seriously discussing the possibility of cancellation of childbirth benefit. And that is in the country where the death rate exceeds the birth one. For example, to get necessary free drugs for oncology patients is not a miracle but a feat. In order to get them one will have to visit a number of authorities, offices, to collect papers, signatures, stamps, to quarrel many times and to prove that they are right, that even they can not live up to receiving these medicines.
And it is only one hundredth of the problems related to health. Of course everything is fine in expensive private clinics. But how many people today can afford it? How many Ukrainians can now allow proper healthy diet? Instead of fruit and vitamins there are cigarettes and alcohol.
It’s very interesting when will the state start doing something for an ordinary Ukrainian in deed and not in name?
